Mhmm, I'm not sure I like that because it leaves the impression that
there is only one. Perhaps if the method is called
getSingleAutoIncrementColumn or somesuch, but I think it should throw
an exception if there is more than one.

Well, not exactly. I'm doing the "How to Unit Test the User Interface
of Web Applications"
(http://apachecon.com/2005/US/html/sessions.html/e=MjAwNS9VUw#1485)
tutorial and the "Java-XML Binding Approaches at Apache" talk
(http://apachecon.com/2005/US/html/sessions.html/e=MjAwNS9VUw#1587,
though that one is finished already).
In the tutorial I will use DdlUtils to help in the unit tests though,
so a bit of public appearance will be there :-)
